Resource Recovery Centre (Tip)

The Centre accepts household materials which can be recycled or need special disposal. The Permanent Drop Off Facility allows you to deposit a range of materials eg. Batteries, paint and light globes, free of charge.

No other household chemicals will be accepted and residential quantities only. This is a free service for Victorian householders. Businesses are not eligible to use this service.

Medical

Medical waste should be disposed of in approved medical waste bins. Incorrectly disposing of medicine or chemicals can pollute our waterways and can be dangerous. Take unused medicines to your local pharmacy for safe disposal. For more information visit the Return Unwanted Medicines.

Unused medicines can also be disposed of at local household chemical collection days. For more information visit Sustainability Victoria or call 1800 353 233.
